i can’t even imagine how amazing it would have felt to hear this from someone you admire and love so much. after living like a puppet for others, never being honest with his desires, and always doing what people want, shima is told by his favorite person that no matter what, she will like him. mitsumi is such an honest and genuine spirit, although breaking up with shima was a hard decision to make, she did it so gently. this scene is such a testament to their relationship. they have so much respect and adoration for one another. even though it’s been a short time, you can easily tell they see each other as lifelong partners whether it’s romantic or platonic. although their first shot at an relationship didn’t work out, this moment opens up so much opportunity for growth. i just love this scene so very much!!!!
skip and loafer does relationships so well!!!! the development between mitsumi and shima is so beautifully done, but also, mitsumi with her friends and the relationships between the girls is just so realistic and heartwarming, i love it!! everything just happens so organically. takamatsu has taken her time to show shimamitsu's relationship become something more special, but she doesn't let it change the dynamic between their friend groups. we still see yuzu, makoto, and mika's journeys through high school and their friendship become stronger with mitsumi. every relationship, platonic or romantic, is handled with so much care it's so beautiful to see!! it's so sweet to read each chapter and see how far the friendships have grown since the beginning. you could feel the love from the pages!!!! <333
i love rereading/rewatching my favorite series whenever i don't know what to do with my time because i'm always guaranteed an amazing time! it's like visiting your home after being gone for a long time. i already know that i love the series and what happens in the story, but revisiting the small details is so much fun! it's always so comforting <3
crying my eyes out i love them so much
showing off!!
i missed killugon so much that i went back to the manga to reread some of their moments together, and this scene during greed island is one of my favorites.
i love how childlike they look in the art. it reminds you that even though they have moments where they fight enemies to the death, they are still children at the end of the day. things like friendship are normal to kids, but killua was never able to experience any of it until he met gon.
the way killua’s eyes widen, almost shocked someone thinks of him as a friend and that it’s gon of all people who feel that way. killua is so used to a world with no emotion or joy, and now he gets to spend all his time with his best friend, who ALSO feels the same way towards him.
to gon, being upfront and honest with his feelings is normal. he was raised by his aunt, a very caring woman, and it was easy for that kindness to become a part of gon's personality. it's easy to say that killua is important to him, that killua is someone he can count on no matter what.
for killua, hearing this means the world. a boy isolated from the outside world, taught to be an assassin, tortured, and ignored, is now face to face with someone who cares about him and isn't afraid to say it.
it's such a simple scene on the outside, but these boys have only recently met, and it is almost like fate brought them together. killua and gon have become so close in such a short time, and yet it's hard to imagine a moment when they weren't by each other's side.
this scene brings back so many memories for me. it reminds me of how, as a young kid, you may be embarrassed to tell someone how much they mean to you, so you duck your head, trying to avoid contact while you think to yourself how happy you are.
since i watched hxh, killugon has become such an important duo to me. as individuals, they are incredibly written characters, and watching them become friends was my favorite part of the series. they mean so much to me! every scene they have together makes me so happy, and i hope we are able to see them again soon <3
new kagehina illustration where they are kids with elementary teacher suga!!! poutyama and silly shoyo are back! they look so adorable i can’t stop smiling!! makes me think that in another universe kagehina grew up playing volleyball together and always had a partner there for them!! <33
all these images are so ✨🌻🌷🌸💝💖💘💓💗🌸🌷🌻
the found family aspect in wha is so beautiful. all of these girls have grown so close to one another. each apprentice has their own set of skills and dreams that compliment the other. the development of agott & coco’s relationship is so beautiful to see. the best part of the found family dynamic is qifrey’s devotion to his students. he cares for them and goes above & beyond to ensure their happiness. olruggio also watches out for the girls & is always more than willing to lend a helping hand. these two men are so diligent as teachers and caring like father figures. the atelier is full of so much love!!!
i love hakyona so very much. ever since i first watched yona of the dawn, their relationship has been so special to me. from leaving the place they called home to running around looking for the dragons. they saw each other at their best and worst. their love was slow but so beautifully written. they see each other for who they truly are. what i love the most is how they BOTH are willing to do anything to keep the other safe. hakyona’s love story is one of the best ever created.
